Way back at the 2019 Screen Actor’s Guild Awards, Brosnahan herself lobbied for Brown to join the cast. “I would do anything,” she told Entertainment Tonight, interrupting their interview with Brown. “I would go crazy.” The pair shook hands. “I’m in,” Brown responded.

“[She] doesn’t have to campaign too hard,” the show’s creator Amy Sherman-Palladino – the woman behind Gilmore Girls and Bunheads – said in March. “We all want Sterling K Brown on the show… [He] happens to be a very busy man. We love him. We are trying to find stuff that works with his schedule.”
